How to form an URL in LWC Community Page that can carry User Info?

Time:11-15

I am forming a web app in lightning Community Experience Builder using LWC, which already has an URL that carries the domain of my org.

Now I want to handover the URL to users along with an Id appended to its end, such that when the user visits the site I can retrieve the Id from URL using JS. example,

the original URL: cs-123.aig.lightning.force.com/form

User lands with: cs-123.aig.lightning.force.com/form?userId=123

I must be able to retrieve the userId when the component loads using renderedCallBack or connectedCallBack.

Thanks in advance.

Note:Lightning Navigation Service offered by LWC,doesnt work outside Salesforce,LEX.

Plain JavaScript URLSearchParams should be enough. I have something similar on my project and works ok in community, with LWC embedded on the page.

connectedCallback() {
    // Try to read the preselected id from URL
    if (window.location.href) {
        try {
            let url = new URL(window.location.href);
            let id = url.searchParams.get('id');
            if (id) {
                this.userId = id;
            }
        } catch (e) {
            if (console) {
                console.log(JSON.stringify(e));
            }
        }
    }
}
